I'm interested in learning more about how to interpret Event Charts from an EA point of view. Can you please offer some guidelines?

The March Against Monsanto is a world-wide demonstration on 25th May 2013 against the endless greed and self-interested practices of this company at the expense of future generations. I've made a short outline of the Pluto paradigm below of the event chart of this March. Protests are being scheduled in 36 countries. Evolutionary intentions pertaining to the whole world are made specific to each society via the house positions of the planets and the fast-moving Moon position.

SN Taurus 11th: past choices that impacted and will impact upon survival, doing the SN in a new way and taking that to the NN, liberation, revolution, very real genetic roulette. Conj Mars: re-live, to take a new direction.

SN Ruler, Venus Gemini 12th: facilitates SN intention through divine inspiration, cutting away illusions, deceptions and lies around information that the public has been fed.

NN Scorpio 5th: to take charge of our destiny, take the initiative, become instruments of change, protection of children, to protect genetic evolution through the DNA.

NN Ruler, Pluto 7th: repeating the past in order to change it, making new choices.

The Uranus/Pluto square necessitates the demonstration event and is the major aspect operating: revolutionary change. Since Pluto is Retrograde, it is a time to reflect upon what the first conjunction set in motion. Uranus and Pluto were conjunct three times in Virgo through 1965-66. The original intention was service, health, healing, new techniques, purification.

A Lunar Eclipse brings the already building undercurrents to the surface where we are forced to address them. It can reveal circumstances and relationship issues that we may have had a feeling about but have so far ignored, downplayed, avoided, etc. Eclipses can be positive catalysts. The Lunar Eclipse could bring life’s circumstances to a long sought after mountain’s peak and a potent time of circumstances ripening. Whatever is mobilized will spread with great force (and high volume/mass too).

Quotes from JWG's Pluto Vol. 1:

-- The Pluto transit brings into the light of day deep subconscious or unconscious emotional, intellectual, physical or spiritual patterns or dynamics that have been dictating and controlling our behaviour and approach to life.

-- Transits symbolize or correlate to what appear to be external circumstances and events. These events have the effect of inducing inner change in all of us.

-- ......an event symbolizes the inner dynamics within all of us that have necessitated the event itself.

-- Plutonian transits will always fundamentally transform us in some way.

-- It should be clear that the actual issues and events triggered by Plutonian transits are intimately linked to the context of each person's reality: to their natural evolutionary condition and intentions for incarnating and to their karmic necessities.

Background information:

The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD), a team of 900 scientists and researchers studied the issue of world hunger. The results of the major study were very simple: 900 scientists agreed that GMO crops were not the answer to world hunger, and revealed this in 2008..... even the United Nations admitted that GMOs cannot fight hunger as effectively as traditional farming.

From the March Against Monsanto website: http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/

Why do we march?

- Research studies have shown that Monsanto’s genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects.

- In the United States, the FDA, the agency tasked with ensuring food safety for the population, is steered by ex-Monsanto executives, and we feel that’s a questionable conflict of interests and explains the lack of government-led research on the long-term effects of GM products.

- Recently, the U.S. Congress and president collectively passed the nicknamed “Monsanto Protection Act” that, among other things, bans courts from halting the sale of Monsanto’s genetically-modified seeds.

- For too long, Monsanto has been the benefactor of corporate subsidies and political favoritism. Organic and small farmers suffer losses while Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world’s food supply, including exclusive patenting rights over seeds and genetic makeup.

- Monsanto's GM seeds are harmful to the environment; for example, scientists have indicated they have contributed to Colony Collapse Disorder among the world's bee population.

What are solutions we advocate?

- Voting with your dollar by buying organic and boycotting Monsanto-owned companies that use GMOs in their products.

- Labeling of GMOs so that consumers can make those informed decisions easier.

******

Event charts start with an understanding of the existing reality of any given country and/ or society upon which the evolutionary intentions of evolving that reality is reflected, symbolized, by the transiting planets being considered. From an EA point of view this should always start with the transiting position of Pluto because this correlates to the natural law of evolution itself. Thus, the two primary ways in which the evolutionary intentions and/ or necessity manifests: either through cataclysmic events or slow yet progressive change.

As we have learned from JWG the determinant in how the evolutionary intentions is the degree of resistance to that evolutionary intention. When resistance reaches a point of preventing the EA intention this then manifests as cataclysmic events.

So it is then necessary to understand the evolutionary intention of what Pluto transiting, now, Capricorn correlates too which, in essence, boils down to the existing structural nature of any country, indeed the world, that are the determinants of the 'reality' that each country, and the world, is currently experiencing. The bottom line intention of the Pluto transit through Capricorn is to evolve any existing structure within the reality of any given country that is thwarting or preventing the necessary evolutionary needs of that country.

Within this bottom line when then look to the other planets that correlate with a collective of people: Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn. The archetypes that each planet is energizing relative to the signs that they are transiting is then linked or added to the bottom line of the sign that Pluto is transiting.

Within this to incorporate the signs that the transiting Lunar Nodes are moving through that symbolize the archetypes that the collective in any country is experiencing by way of the 'lead points' within that collective consciousness that serve as the specific triggers to events that are all part of the larger evolutionary intentions as symbolized by the outer planets starting with Pluto.

An example of all this is reflected in that Rio Tinto Mine in the country you live in: Australia. Here is a statement that reflects all the above: "Australia is riding an unprecedented wave of resources investment due to booming demand from Asia, with hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of resource projects in the pipeline."

Here you see the leading edge of the Lunary Nodes in Taurus / Scorpio: an unprecedented wave of resources, Taurus, because of the booming demand, Scorpio, from Asia that will lead to all the money returned to Australia based on that investment. And, of course, all the competing interests of the various groups, Uranus in Aries, within Australia that have lead to the confrontations with the Australian government, Pluto in Capricorn that reflects the existing structural reality, that have and are impacting on what the Australian government perceives as it's evolutionary needs in order to grow. Within these groups of competing interests the Neptune transit in Pisces manifests that can range from utter disillusionment and bitter outrage to a kind of euphoria for those that this investment will benefit. And, of course, the underlying archetype of the Neptune in Pisces is whether all the reasons that have been used by the Australian government to justify this are delusional or inspired by actual reality. Saturn in Scorpio is currently conjunct the transiting N.Node which then correlates with the specific timing, Saturn correlating with time as does Capricorn, to this decision that lead to the various confrontation within the competing groups that are defined by their own structural reality.

Let me know if this helps you understand the EA of events and, if you need to ask more, please feel free to do so.

Thank you so much for your thorough explanation Rad. This helps enormously with understanding the EA of events.

Here's Australia's Federation chart with its full 8th house showing the Australian government's choices - its perception of its evolutionary needs in order to grow - to allow its resources (Pluto 2nd national worth) to be manipulated by huge (Sag) foreign powers (8th) through mining underground resources. Mercury-Jupiter opposite Neptune 2nd shows gullibility, delusion and media.

I have a lot on right now, but would love to re-visit this thread in the future.
